Thanks for the greetings, everyone! A thought occured to me this morning...if H were to show interest at some point in the future, I would have to take it VERY slowly - like, I think I would probably not want to live together until we had been building our relationship/dating for at least a year. I am not going to say anything about this to him, since he hasn't given me any indication he would be interested in a relationship with me, now or in the future, but this is just my little standard that I may apply to any relationship. I need to be able to get to know another person slowly, so I don't lose myself and my needs in trying to please them and make them happy. I keep repeating in my head, "You will be okay." Everything hurts really bad right now, and I know it may hurt much worse before it gets better, but I will be okay. I will be able to create peace for myself and my S, and a better life. I will be okay. Myrrh
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
